NP-hard graph problems and boundary classes of graphs
Any graph problem, which is NP-hard in general graphs, becomes polynomial-time solvable when restricted to graphs in special classes. When does a difficult problem become easy? To answer this question we study the notion of boundary classes. In the present paper we define this notion in its most general form, describe several approaches to identify boundary classes and apply them to various gra...
متن کاملOn the Maximum Number of Dominating Classes in Graph Coloring
In this paper we investigate the dominating- -color number، of a graph G. That is the maximum number of color classes that are also dominating when G is colored using colors. We show that where is the join of G and H. This result allows us to construct classes of graphs such that and thus provide some information regarding two questions raised in [1] and [2].
متن کاملSelective Graph Coloring in Some Special Classes of Graphs
In this paper, we consider the selective graph coloring problem. Given an integer k ≥ 1 and a graph G = (V,E) with a partition V1, . . . , Vp of V , it consists in deciding whether there exists a set V ∗ in G such that |V ∗ ∩ Vi| = 1 for all i ∈ {1, . . . , p}, and such that the graph induced by V ∗ is k-colorable. We investigate the complexity status of this problem in various classes of graphs.
متن کاملUnit disk graph recognition is NP-hard
Unit disk graphs are the intersection graphs of unit diameter closed disks in the plane. This paper reduces SATISFIABILITY to the problem of recognizing unit disk graphs. Equivalently, it shows that determining if a graph has sphericity 2 or less, even if the graph is planar or is known to have sphericity at most 3, is NP-hard. We show how this reduction can be extended to 3 dimensions, thereby...
متن کاملNearest Neighbour Graph Realizability is NP-hard
1 I n t r o d u c t i o n This paper investigates the problem of realizing a given graph G as a "nearest neighbour graph" of a set P of points in the plane. Roughly speaking, a "nearest neighbour graph" is a geometric graph formed from a set of points in the plane by joining two points if one is the nearest neighbour of the other. Fig. 1. A mutual nearest neighbour graph One specific kind of ne...
